摘要

The Gershenson Radiation Oncology Center of Wayne State University (WSU), Detroit, Michigan, is using↑(252)Cf medical sources for neutron brachytherapy. These sources are based on a 20-year-old design containing≤30μg↑(252)Cf in the form of a cermet wire of Cf↓(2)O↓(3) in a palladium matrix. The Radiochemical Engineering Development Center (REDC) of Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been asked to develop very compact, high-activity↑(252)Cf neutron sources for use with remote afterloading equipment in order to reduce treatment times and dose to clinical personnel and to expedite treatment of brain and other tumors. To date, the REDC has demonstrated that ↑(252)Cf loadings can be greatly increased in cermet wires and with much smaller diameters. Equipment designed for hot cell fabrication of these wires is being tested. A parallel program is under way to relicense the existing source design for fabrication at the REDe.
